How Young Females Are Portrayed in the Media How Are Young Females Portrayed In the Media In the 21st Century we live in a society where sexy is in and being fat is not. Everywhere you look you may see young women selling cigarettes, drinks, makeup, and other things that may enhance your beauty. When you look at an advertisement what’s the first thing you look at' Do you actually look at the product that is being sold to you' Or do you look at the person who is actually drawing the attention to the product' All these question that I ask shows that we really don’t realize what is really being shown to us and the message that is being sent.

Out of the whole magazine 90% of the advertisement showed women being portrayed as sexual objects. One particular ad caught my eye; it showed a woman in bra and panties promoting wonderbra.
